WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

School Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

adaptation

This brief self-report measure is designed to support screening of a student’s perceived adjustment to the school setting. The School Questionnaire provides a structured way to sample attitudes toward school, perceived comfort, and potential school-related stressors.

It consists of 22 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. Item content broadly addresses the student’s experience of the academic environment and social context (e.g., interactions with teachers and peers). Results are generally interpreted as descriptive indicators of perceived school functioning and may help guide follow-up assessment or school-based supports rather than serve as a standalone diagnostic tool.

Authorship is attributed to A. S. Kaufman and N. L. Kaufman. The School Questionnaire is most appropriately used within a broader clinical or educational evaluation, with attention to developmental level, response validity, and corroborating information from caregivers, educators, and other measures.
